Babies do love water!
by yen_2
Babies really do love water! Anything to do with the water,actually! When we arrived, my 18 months old son rush to the water and mind you, water in HuaHin is very cold specially when it's in the afternoon. But he like it still...
The semi-white sand goes for miles from the Sofitel at the end of Damnoenkasem Rd. At the main beach there are umbrellas for lounging and vendors will satisfy your needs for drinks and snacks, and even pony rides, jet skis and a Thai traditional massage. pic for now..text will come later
Pone Kingpeth Park
by Wann
When I walked from Hua Hin Raiway station to the town, I passed this small park "Pone Kingpeth Park". It is not a really park for sit and relax, the feature is about to honor the statue of Pone KingPeth, the famous Thai boxer raising his right hand. He’s the Thailand's first world flyweight champion, who was probably Hia Hin's most famous son. During his boxing career, which saw him confront some forty foreign opponents, Pone became the three-time champion the world will never forget. He died in 1982, at age 47.
So maybe when you visit Hua Hin by train, during the walk to the town or beach, take a look on your right hand side a bit, you will see. Around 100-200 m away from railway station…
THAI FOOD in GENERAL
by LysDor
I took all meals at the resort's own restaurants and cafés as it was so hot I could not possibly think of going down-town:
Rim Nam Serves the best of Italian cuisine for dinner in a romantic poolside setting
Orchid Cafe The Orchid Cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner, especially the delicious dinner buffets from Chinese to Italian to international.
Sala Thai The Village’s afternoon and evening lounge… warm, comfortable, exotic with live western music nightly.
Sai Thong On-the-beach or poolside lunches: It offers grilled barbecue specials daily.
I suppose everyone knows what is THAI FOOD and has tasted it sometime. Here are a couple of links if you are interested in what is this food, how you can make it (there are recipes included!) and some tips how to order and eat these dishes.

Wat Khao Takiab
by aberacadabra
You need to be here to have an eagle's eye view of Hua Hin and the sea. Also known to tourists as "Monkey Hill", true to this name, there are numerous monkeys at the foot of the temple mount and near the chinese shrine to keep you company or shriek in fear. These monkeys especially the larger males can be aggressive, so be careful.
The start of the hike up to the temple is marked by a large bell and a flight of stairs up to the main shrine, a pagoda-like structure. Here, amongst the bells of temple are great views of Hua Hin town and the sea.
Buddhas' in Kho Takiab
by yen_2
After going up in the hill by our hired tuk-tuk. We saw many people around but fewer "farangs". We didn't climb the temple at the top of the hill as we're with baby. You can see this buddha's under the tree where the monkies climb all over them...
I never imagine Hua Hin has such a great sightseeings to boast to aside from the Beaches they have..
